Under attack!

<p>My firewall has been blocking an intrusion for the past two days. I looked up the IP address on IP Whois and this is the info I got:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So what do I do with this info?</p>

<p>uh... you wouldn't be using a firewall/router by any chance, would you?&nbsp; Wireless, maybe?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

We've traced the IP and IT'S COMING FROM INSIDE YOUR NETWORK!!!!!

<p>So, it's my router?</p>

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>Papa. 192.168.0.0 - 255 is the assigned IP range for all routers.&nbsp; It's a &quot;null&quot; ip.&nbsp; Your router takes over the IP address that your cable/DSL/etc has, and each computer hooked into the router takes up 192.168.0.etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You're basically abusing yourself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

That's weird that it just started the past two days. Maybe it's from cleaning my registry. Thanks.

[PapaBear]

I use Zone alarm. I temporarily turned on the notification when I saw the intrusion number rising. I'll add it to the trusted zone.

<p>PB, one more question - even though YOUR computers are hardwired, is your router capable of wi-fi?&nbsp; I was losing bandwidth and getting really annoyed until I found out someone was surfing on my network.&nbsp; I disabled wireless right after that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[PapaBear]

<p>It's totally hard wired. I don't trust wireless. It's worth the trouble to drill a few holes in the walls, and snake cables through.</p>

[SinA]

<p>turn the power off, disconnect all of the cables, and wait 30 seconds.&nbsp; then you can start plugging the cables back in one at a time, and then turn the power back on, one device at a time.</p><p>that should take about 10 minutes, start to finish, and accomplish nothing.</p>

CTRL-ALT-DEL!!!!!!! DEFRAG!!!!!!! SCANDISK!!!! REBOOT!!!! FOR GOD'S SAKE REBOOT!!!!!!!!!<br />

If you are using DHCP, log into your router (192.168.1.1) and look at the DHCP table.<br />
